Right, your loved ones are being held hostage by nasty wicked persons and you're forced to offer one lyrical segment of Rush as a favourite...so, one section of wisdom/inspiration or else the loved ones will be forced to listen to hip-hop

Some are born to move the world -
To live their fantasies
But most of us just dream about
The things we'd like to be

Sadder still to watch it die
Than never to have known it
For you - the blind who once could see -
The bell tolls for thee...

When we swap instruments during band practise I often bellow these pearls in time to an e-minor punk riff ._________________

Its very difficult to pick just one as there are so many. I think, if any, it would probably be

When life becomes as barren
And as cold as winter skies
There's a beacon in the darkness
In a distant pair of eyes
In vain to search for honour
In vain to search for truth
But these things can still be given
Your love has shown me proof

Makes me think of my wife._________________'Do not despise the snake for having no horns, for who is to say it will not become a dragon?'

Yep, sooo hard to pick a favourite but you simply have to you know? The Losing It excerpt has been with me for soo long now. I may just upload the gedawful jam featuring the afore mentioned lines (and mygoodself on guitar ).
I have to admit that I leant on Rush these past four/five weeks big time. No need to explain how inspirational, how lifting the material is but it's good to know that in time of need they're always here, just like you guys .

someone set a bad example
made surrender seem all right
the act of a noble warrior
who lost the will to fight

not that there's anything wrong with that.. i'd much rather lean on RUSH in hard times than..oh say..the crap kids my age listen to nowadays! all the songs are seriously depressing!

Don't know if you've heard it, but a recent big hit in the UK, that's still getting heavy radio play, called Dry Your Eyes sums it all up for current music. Its crap as well._________________'Do not despise the snake for having no horns, for who is to say it will not become a dragon?'

Hey Slaine', Grrr, my eleven year old son loves 'The Streets' (he even BOUGHT a copy) so I hear it every day .
For the uninitiated it's a kinda garage/rap thing but thoroughly English, clever lyricist at times but alas not for me. I used to turn off 'DYEyes' when it came on the radio._________________
